BREAKING: Card surcharges are now banned. From today, card surcharges are banned, saving Australians $1.6bn. So whether you're at the supermarket or paying bills, the price you see is the price you pay.

This is absolute nonsense (the original article) - the data from high quality studies do not support this. Activist opinion polling is another matter entirely #auspol Men with toxic views account for 3% of the population & studies of feminine online spaces find near parity in how toxic they are.

Only in a world where it is important NOT to confront the cognitive drivers of a client's psychological distress to ensure ongoing business... The good news is that reality doesn't care about your business model, and it ultimately prevails.

Card surcharges add up fast. Right now, they're costing Australians $1.6 billion every year. Surcharges will be banned from October, saving you money when you tap. So, whether you're at the supermarket or paying bills, the price you see is the price you pay.

In ESPN Australia; An evolution in approach had been expected from Tony Popovic and the Socceroos coming out of the World Cup. And against Brazil, we saw hints of what that might look like heading into an Asian Cup. Now, of course, it needs built on. 🔗: www.espn.com.au/soccer/story... .

Brazil friendlies an important step forward for Socceroos ahead of Asian Cup
All up, the Socceroos two-game series against Brazil probably ticked most of the boxes Tony Popovic was hoping it would.
